Jet - the omnibus spending bill was just released. There are some news headlines about it. The bill will still contain the cuts to veterans pensions. The media is reporting that “disabled” retirees will be exempt but they do not define what disabled means (I.e. only medically retired or VA rated disabled?). There is a provision to exempt survivor widows and widowers. The bill has other abominations, such as over a Billion and quarter dollars to give away to Egypt with no strings attached. That one budget line would have paid for 2 years of pension cuts for all military retirees.
